As one of the protagonists of the engagement party, Li Mo had to shoulder most of the responsibilities and took the initiative to handle matters that required the decision of the newlyweds at the engagement party.
The Bo family's housekeeper frequently went in and out of the house that the Li family bought in Beijing, either to deliver wedding candies or to inquire about some details of the engagement party.
Li Mo enjoyed the feeling of being admired very much, and received many gifts of congratulations from people...
These gifts were basically intended for Bo Zheng. Since the Bo family couldn't contact Bo Zheng, Mrs. Bo simply asked the housekeeper to bring these gifts to Li Mo and let Li Mo accept them.
The Wei family, the Wen family, the Ye family... several of the top families in Beijing all gave face and sent engagement gifts this time. It was a grand ceremony, and Li Mo felt very happy when counting the gifts every day.
It just so happens that the engagement party is tomorrow.
The butler of the Bo family came to Li Mo early in the morning with the guest list. His original intention was to let Li Mo take a look at it to express the sincerity of the Bo family.
"Ms. Li, did I put the list here?"
"Let me take a look."
Li Mo was directing the servants to put away a jade bracelet of extremely fine water color, and then she came over and actually picked up the list and looked at it carefully.
Seeing that she was looking at the list seriously and that she was Bo Zheng's future wife, the Bo family's housekeeper took the initiative to come over and explain the people on the list to her.
The interpersonal relationships in Beijing are complicated.
The Bo family controls nine institutions, and their status has risen rapidly over the past year or so, with signs that they have one foot in the top circle.
Bo Zheng is also the most outstanding man among the third generation.
Of course, all the major families in Beijing gave Bo Zheng enough face. As long as they had nothing to do, anyone who could come would come.
Even if someone cannot come due to some reasons, they will inform the Bo family in advance and explain clearly why they cannot come.
Except for old folks like Mr. Ye who have long retired, this engagement party almost gathered all the people from the upper circles of Beijing.
"This is the Zhang family. Zhang Yang is the best of their generation. Almost all of the family business is in his hands. He is a very capable young man."
The housekeeper pointed at Zhang Yang's name and explained to Li Mo, and in just a few words he told Li Mo the basic situation of the Zhang family.
Li Mo didn't care about that. She looked down the list with her almond-shaped eyes and suddenly pointed at a group of people and said, "Grandpa Butler, this is...?"
"Let me see." The housekeeper of the Bo family looked carefully and saw the names she pointed at. He suddenly realized and said, "This is the Jiang family."
The housekeeper of the Bo family smiled and said, "Our old man has a good relationship with Mr. Jiang. They are old friends who have known each other for many years. It's a pity that both the old man and Mr. Jiang suffered too much when they were young. As they got older, their health is not good."
This is also a common shortcoming among Mr. Ye’s generation.
Mr. Wei worried about the country all his life and died early.
The housekeeper of the Bo family was still immersed in sadness and did not notice that Li Mo's eyes flashed. Looking at the name Qiao Nian written in the middle of those names, he asked softly, "Isn't the Jiang family very powerful in Beijing?"
"Jiang family?" The housekeeper of the Bo family frowned, subconsciously thinking of Jiang Zongnan's branch, and said with a complicated expression: "Because of certain things, the Jiang family can only be considered middle-of-the-pack in Beijing. If it weren't for those things, they would have definitely entered the top circle with that person's relationship."
"Is that so?" Li Mo directly substituted the 'person' he was talking about as Jiang Weishang, thinking that Jiang Weishang had a good relationship with Mr. Bo and could help the Jiang family.
In her mind, she positioned the Jiang family as a second-rate family dependent on the Bo family.
